Excellent advise thank you.

Seems like this was the only thing he "exagerrated", but I did impart the seriousness of falsying a CV to him....he got scared and hopefully got the point.

But as you said there are other factors to consider, and knowing what I know about his family situation, I wasn't goint to try and get him fired

It all worked out in the end.

Stay safe. 

Perfection does not exist. The question therefore, is: what level of imperfection are we willing to settle for?
